AMD's Kernel Compute Driver "AMDKFD" Can Now Be Enabled On RISC-V
6 June 2025 - AMDKFD On RISC-V

Following all of the Linux kernel graphics driver features merged last week for the Linux 6.16 kernel, sent out this morning were the initial batch of fixes to the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) code. Besides fixes to these graphics / display / accelerator drivers, there is one new feature: the AMDKFD kernel compute driver can now be enabled on RISC-V systems.

Linux 6.16 Introduces New Helper For Restricting Symbols To Select Kernel Modules
7 June 2025 - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES

All of the kernel build system "Kbuild" updates were merged today for the nearly-over Linux 6.16 merge window that is expected to conclude tomorrow with the Linux 6.16-rc1 release. Notable with the Kbuild pull is the introduction of the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES helper.

Linux GPIB Drivers Maturing Into Good Shape 50+ Years After The Bus Was Introduced
8 June 2025 - Linux GPIB

Notable with the staging area updates for the in-development Linux 6.16 kernel is word that the GPIB driver code may be ready to leave the staging area in the next kernel cycle (Linux v6.17) in then being promoted to the main driver area in signifying the maturity of the code and being cleaned up to meet kernel coding standards. The GPIB drivers are for the General Purpose Interface Bus that was introduced back in 1972.

From Asshole:

Glow Kernel will add susfs support in a future update.

During the installation process, if you choose to require KernelSU support, you will see a new option asking if you need susfs support. But you can still only use it with the official KernelSU or MKSU.

Providing users with rich and non-forced options is an important feature of Melt Kernel, and Glow Kernel will inherit and continue to develop it.

Why add support for susfs now?

susfs is already widely used and has proven itself to be stable over time (maybe?).

But no matter what, please always take responsibility for your actions.

IO_uring Shows Promising Potential For Linux Accelerator Drivers
10 June 2025 - Lower Overhead

Last year there was some ideas raised around potentially making use of the Linux kernel's IO_uring functionality for graphics drivers to help with better performance and synchronization. It turns out Qualcomm engineers have recently been exploring IO_uring use for the DRM accelerator drivers with very promising results on their Cloud AI hardware in seeing around 50% speed-ups in ioctl execution time.

Linux 6.15.2 Fixes "Quite Dramatically...Potentially Dangerous" Idle Power Regression
10 June 2025 - Linux 6.15.2

Along with releasing Linux 6.14.11 today to end-of-life the Linux 6.14 kernel series, Greg Kroah-Hartman released Linux 6.15.2 as the newest stable point release. There is a notable fix here for the CPU idle power regressing on some systems since moving to Linux 6.15.

Linus Torvalds Rejects The Idea Of Enabling DAMON By Default In The Linux Kernel
11 June 2025 - DAMON

DAMON is a nifty data access monitoring solution for the Linux kernel developed by Amazon and other parties for system monitoring and performance/efficiency optimizations and more. But it's not so ground-breaking that it's worth enabling by default in all Linux kernel builds, Linus Torvalds has decided.

Graphics Driver Changes Begin Queuing Ahead Of Linux 6.17

While the Linux 6.16 merge window just passed one week ago, already there are new feature changes beginning to queue for the Linux 6.17 kernel later in the summer.

Linux 6.17 Looks Like It Could Go Ahead And Make SMP Support Unconditional
15 June 2025 - Linux 6.17

Back in May a big patch series was published for reworking the Linux kernel to make the SMP support unconditional. Right now those that happen to be running Linux in a uniprocessor (1 CPU core) configuration can build with "CONFIG_SMP" disabled but the proposed patches would make symmetric multi-processing support always present. Those patches took a step forward this week and could be merged for the Linux 6.17 cycle later in the summer.
